[Ham-Computers] Copy HD?

[Jim Hill]

I'll second Aaron's suggesting of a drive cloning program.  I've used 
two versions of Norton Ghost in the past, and am currently using a 
Terabyte application.  Every so often, odd things happen and restoring 
to an earlier image avoids much head scratching and debugging.  Just be 
careful about backing up current information so you don't lose it.

Some of these app's including an option of making a bootable floppy or 
CD, so you can boot to the app and then  restore  to a saved image.  If 
so, be  sure you make the bootable media.  Often, you can't restore the 
partition you booted from.  In other words, a normal start boots to the 
C drive. If you want to restore the C drive, you can't because you 
booted from it.
